Founder’s Day, 21st July

One of my favourite events of the vintage and classic year, the VMCC’s Taverners Section’s rally, takes place on the 21st of July. The venue is Stanford Hall, near Lutterworth in Leicestershire, as usual.

The London Douglas MCC will have our usual stand there, so please come along, have a chat and admire the machines!

Apart from being a good day out, the Founder’s Day rally also features an excellent auto-jumble – I invariably come home with more ‘stuff’ I didn’t know I needed! Fingers crossed for the weather …

Racing Down to Goodwood

The historic Goodwood racing circuit is the venue for the Douglas Club’s Surrey/Hants Section’s next social meeting, on Sunday June 9th. Meeting time is 12 noon as usual and, if your Douglas is equipped with a satnav, the postcode is PO18 0PX! Head for the Aerodrome club cafe – with views over the circuit.

Obviously, as it is June, the sun will be shining (!)

Club Run to the Royal Armouries

Sunday 12th May is the diary date for a social meeting at the Royal Armouries in Fareham, PO17 6AN. Bike parking, the cafe and the Armouries are all free of charge, so it’s a good opportunity to fire up the Douglas* and enjoy some Spring sunshine. Meeting time is 12.00 and we look forward to seeing you there.

*Other machines are also welcome!

The Douglas Spares Scheme

One of my regular tasks as webmaster is to update the Douglas Spares lists on this site – click pre-war and post-war if you haven’t looked at them recently. Recent additions to the post-war list include battery carriers for Mark Series models and crankcase breather valves for Dragonflys; new parts are added regularly, so it’s worth bookmarking the page. The Club’s spares scheme is open to all members, and the unsung heroes who run the pre- and post-war schemes deserve a vote of thanks for helping the rest of us keep our machines on the road!
